Effect of exposure-age on chromosomal rearrangements in methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas exposed survivors
Methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas disaster appeared one of the world’s worst industrial disasters by claiming a huge toll of human lives instantly and as its aftermath effect. Besides respiratory, ophthalmic and psychological disorders, stress leukogram, including anemia,
LMO1 regulates a novel oncogenic pathway druggable for neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma (NB) is derived from neural crest cells and its main developing sites are adrenal gland and sympathetic ganglions. It is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, accounting for more than 7% of malignancies in
Concerns over dosing oral anticoagulants in clinical practice
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a heart condition characterized by an abnormal rhythm leading to irregular beat. An important consequence of AF is an incomplete emptying of the atria (upper heart chamber) leading to blood stasis and, potentially,
IL-2/IL-3 interplay mediates growth of CD25(+) acute myeloid leukemia cells
A variety of cytokines regulate the survival, growth, differentiation and apoptosis of leukemia cells. Accordingly, aberrant or excessive expression of their receptors may be associated with the biological activity of leukemia cells, and hence with the outcome
Detecting math ability with brain potentials
It is known that the various individuals differ in their ability to perform arithmetic calculations. Some people can find mathematics an extremely easy exercise while for others it can become an insurmountable problem. For example, a significant
International Conference and Exhibition on Pharmaceutics & Novel Drug Delivery Systems. Osaka, Japan. September 09-10, 2019
Cientific Group is overpowered to declare its absolute first “International Conference and Exhibition on Pharmaceutics and Novel Drug Delivery Systems”. Pharma Conferences hung on September 09-10, 2019 at Osaka, Japan. Pharmaceutica – 2019 gives a general stage
Our biological clock controls mitochondrial activity in a tissue-dependent manner
Mitochondria are the cell organelles that are responsible for the largest part of cellular energy production. Within these organelles both the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) are taking place. In these cycles ATP,
Coastal wetland plant responses to elevated carbon dioxide
Coastal wetlands are some of the most efficient habitats globally when it comes to assimilating carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in soil. This is mainly due to the fact that many coastal wetland plant
The immunomodulatory enzyme IDO: Expression in the uterus of mares?
IDO modulates immune responses. The enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO) degrades tryptophan. This amino acid is required for immune defences against pathogens, but also stimulates pathogen growth. Its degradation inhibits effector lymphocytes and retards pathogen proliferation. Thus,
Fine needle aspiration cytology for neck masses in childhood. An important tool in pediatrics
Neck masses can be incidental or the reason for significant concern for parents and physicians. The technique of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology (FNAC) may be crucial in such settings. In 1981, the first FNA biopsy performed in
Cellular stress and AMPK activators including metformin and the anesthetic drug propofol promote restoration of human consciousness
The neural mechanisms that give rise to human consciousness have been described as one of the greatest and most profound mysteries in all of modern medicine. The use of general anesthetics to induce loss of consciousness (LOC)
Keeping a clean house to suppress HER2+ breast tumor growth
Autophagy (self-eating) is a process used by normal cells to keep a “clean house”. It degrades abnormal or damaged proteins and organelles, helps to fight infections and also provides energy during periods of fasting or exercise. Besides
The nature of bel-1 attC stabilizes its genetic environment and contributes to antibiotic resistance spreading
The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance is a worldwide crisis, endangering the efficacy of antibiotic treatment. Multidrug resistance in Gram negatives is now recognized as an issue of worldwide interest. Those bacteria possess various resistance mechanisms compromising
Fiber refractometry revisited
The refractive index (RI) n of a substance is generally defined as the ratio of the speed of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum c to its velocity in that substance v, or n = c/v. Refractive index
Magnetic NPs for automatic speciation analysis of inorganic arsenic in environmental water samples
Arsenic is a ubiquitous element in the environment originated from natural sources as well as human activities. This element has been identified as a public health problem because it has serious toxic effects even at low exposure

Sliding esophagoplasty. Can esophagectomy be avoided in esophageal obstruction due to huge thoracic aortic aneurysm?
Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a serious vascular disease which usually requires surgical aortic graft replacement. In recent years, endovascular stent placement proved a mini-invasive alternative to be used safely in properly selected instances particularly in subjects considered
Biologically active chemicals in yellow-cedar protect tree tissues and possibly human health
Yellow-cedar trees, also known as Callitropsis nootkatensis, can live for hundreds of years because they have has few insect or pathogen pests. Periodic studies over the last century have examined extractable chemicals in their tissues and discovered
The science behind ashes to diamonds: how mourning the dead has gotten high-tech
Posted by Andreea Mihalache With the constant progress of science, it isn’t unexpected that humans have found a way to mimic some of the greatest geological forces that exist. While diamonds are gems mother nature needs to
3 principles of expert guidance on writing lab reports
Posted by Catherine Bennet Lab reports account up to 25% of the overall grade in most technical courses. Unfortunately, most students don’t take this task with the utmost seriousness it deserves. Students presume writing lab reports as
